Currently, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) or genetic editing techniques are available. edit directly to the genes received great attention Both in the medical community and scientific experts.
Most recently, the European Union plans to exempt techniques such as CRISPR from the strict limits associated with genetic engineering. provided that Genetically modified crops must not differ from naturally occurring crops. And of course, environmental and organic groups have come out to criticize many.
But one person made an interesting point… Urs Niggli, a longtime European academic and leader in organic farming, said that the organic association is now fighting with NGOs in Brussels. belgium to oppose this regulation
Must not forget that the past “GMO-free” is a political selling point. and the Organic Agriculture Society deliberately maintains fears in molecular biological breeding methods. in order to be able to distinguish their own products in the market This renders their current view of genetic modification obsolete.
So why is new genetic engineering necessary? That’s because we want to solve problems for the future of global nutrition. In the next 30 years, billions of people will be sitting at the table. We not only have to maintain the quality of the soil as organic farmers do. but also make the most of scarce land.
We can’t deny intensive farming nowadays cause a decrease in biodiversity Therefore, organic farming is one of the many ways to solve these problems.
Unfortunately, organic farming yields 20 to 50 percent less per area than conventional agriculture. We will have to destroy more natural areas. in order to be able to feed the growing population
So we need traditional agriculture. but in a more sustainable way today. and to be more productive Especially during times of bad weather. New genetic engineering will be able to help us.
